A primary school friend of mine was one of the founders of the Electronic Intifada website, an alternative news source for Palestians. He is a super smart guy and is often on US television debating Israeli diplomats.

This is obviously a super contentious issue and there are always two sides to the story.
I sometimes wonder if Africa could do with a news site like the EI.
